EC 2.1.1.363

Accepted name: pre-sodorifen synthase

Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + pre-sodorifen diphosphate

Glossary: pre-sodorifen diphosphate = [(2E)-3-methyl-5-[(1S,4R,5R)-1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopent-2-en-1-yl]pent-2-en-1-yl phosphonato]oxyphosphonate
sodorifen = (1S,2S,4R,5S,8s)-1,2,4,5,6,7,8-heptamethyl-3-methylenebicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-ene

Other name(s): sodC (gene name)

Systematic name: (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate 10-C-methyltransferase (cyclyzing, pre-sodorifen diphosphate producing)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Serratia plymuthica, participates in biosynthesis of sodorifen.
